At first glance, I thought this was a taco place. I thought perhaps it was a play on words…read more Mexico, Quebeco, so I thought. No tacos, nachos or burritos here. Instead, I discovered that they serve burgers, hot dogs, smoked meat sandwiches, some breakfast items, and oh, yeah, a ton of fries! The customer ahead of me placed an order for hot dogs and fries. When his order was ready, I barely saw his sandwich because it was swimming in french fries. I went for a cheeseburger with the works. NO FRIES PLEASE! I have had my fair share of fries this week. They seem to be served with everything you order in Canada. (and coleslaw too) The cheeseburger was very good. Who knew that the works meant coleslaw, relish, mustard and onions, and that it really does taste great together . Easy ordering process and it is walk -up counter service.

We were returning from vacation about an hour south of Québec. We wanted a quick lunch. Poutine?…read moreWhy not. We missed our chances in the city so it would be now or never. A quick Yelp search for a lunch place "nearby" brought us here. Its just 5 minutes off the highway but not something you'd just stumble upon; it's tucked away by itself on a quiet rural byway. It's got an old-fashioned "roadhouse" feel to it: a little "divey" but not in a bad way, complete with a full bar and a tiny makeshift music stage. It was early afternoon and busy but not crowded, all locals. I guess they don't get too many tourists here; everybody took notice of us as we entered but quickly returned to their business. The diners seemed to be a mix of blue-collar workers on lunch break, families with kids, and friends out for lunch, drinks, and conversation. They don't speak much English here so I got to practice my rudimentary French, and found out just how rudimentary it really is. And don't expect English menus either. Fortunately I know enough to order some food: poutine, cheeseburger, onion soup, coke. I scored 3 out of 4: While I thought I was asking for French onion soup what I actually ordered was "French Onions"; what we call onion rings back home! Oh well, mistakes like this make for an interesting time! Too bad the onion rings were pretty mediocre: heavy greasy batter and not very hot. The truth: I've only had poutine once before and I wasn't impressed then. But it's so much the rage up here in Québec that I wanted to be better informed and maybe eventually even a fan. As it turns out, we should have passed this time. Short cut, soggy fries drowned in a gravy that tasted canned. And not all that hot either. The third essential ingredient of poutine, cheese curds, was also present of course and made it less boring. Maybe we should have ordered it with one of the many add-ons they offer, such as sausages, mushrooms, etc.? Actually I thought we did; it was probably another misunderstanding, a consequence of our mutual language incomprehension. Oh well, no matter. The cheeseburger: ok but nothing special. Somewhere between Wendy's and McDonalds (closer to Wendy's). So, will this put an end to my poutine quest? Certainly not, these two samples have taught me what bad poutine is, but I know there's good stuff out there somewhere and I'll find it eventually! So 2 points for the food, bonus point for atmosphere. Were I to find myself here again I'd probably try a pizza.

On the way home from Tadoussac, we were looking for a place to eat along highway 20. After sitting…read morein heavy traffic in Quebec City for too long, we wanted to get past the city before stopping to eat. I found Jo-Dre. To be honest, we were a little nervous as it isn't much to look at on the outside - divy to be sure. We were glad however that we went inside. The staff were super friendly and it was bustling with locals. We ordered Jo-Dre pizza and a smoked meat poutine. It was awesome. The best poutine we've had this trip and we've been to some of the highly rated places in Montreal and Quebec City this trip. Don't forget to butter you crusts! Oh and a 12' pizza came in four slices which confused us a little...but it was all good going down. Great stop - don't miss it!

I was curious about the classic poutine but when I saw the Mexican poutine on the menu, I knew I had to try it. It was so incredibly delicious! It was classic poutine but with beans, corn and other vegetables with guacamole and sour cream on the side. The atmosphere was very cool with music videos projected on a wall. Our waiter was a sweetheart. All four of us absolutely loved our meals that night. What an awesome way to start our weekend getaway in Quebec!!

We tried the India which was a butter chicken sauce with chicken and mushrooms. It was a fun dish with good flavor gravy. Odd choice to me to put mushrooms in it since I've never had butter chicken with mushrooms. The Chicken was thin sliced, I was expecting more like chunks. Regardless this was a solid 4 in my book. We also tried the Hat Trick which is basically a three meat poutine with bacon, ground beef and hot dogs. This was also solid, not as unique, but good. Probably a 3.75. we ordered the mega sized for both, which made the 2 dishes enough food for 3-4 people depending how hungry you are. We wanted the leftovers. The down side to this experience was the service. The place was nearly empty. The server passed us with a pitcher of water in have and didn't even fill the glasses. When we ordered a diet Pepsi instead of getting a fountain drink we got it in a can (both options were in the menu, fountain was cheaper), why not ask us if not sure what we want? At the end we waited a while to see the server and instead just ended up asking the hostess for our to-go containers. Nothing horrible, just meh. The takeaway, pretty good poutine with not so hot service.

I was visiting from the US and was genuinely impressed by the menu. The chicken is grilled fresh on-site, giving it that satisfying charred flavor, then finished with your choice of glaze, veggie sides, and sauce. Everything tasted fresh and came together really well. It hit the spot so much that I ended up coming back a second time--and Poulet Rouge delivered just as well. The service was excellent & it also helped that this location is open till late. Definitely a spot I'd love to see expand into the US!

Americans familiar with the make-your-own-bowl dining situation will know how this place works…read more This is a fast food restaurant that I first spotted at the Quebec City mall food court. The passing trays looked amazing but we couldn't find seating to save our lives so we struck out to look for another location nearby. You start with a base: quinoa, rice, bulgur, fries (poutine), or lettuce. You choose a number of chicken tenders in one or two flavors, then choose from a variety of toppings. The staff here *understandably* is not great in English, which can of course change depending on where you go and when you come. This was one of our first stops before my high school/college French instruction "clicked on" again, so ordering was mildly stressful for our family. It would have been nice if there were some pre-designed bowl recipes to select from (like Cava, for example). For those of you willing to play the language barrier game, the sky is the limit in terms of how you can personalize your bowl. Like every Quebecois dining establishment, this fast food chain is head and shoulders above any American equivalent. Even their poutine (which can be messed up, I assure you) was among the top poutines I've eaten. This is a great place to grab a quick meal, as light or heavy as you require.

A few heads up, this is a cash only location with getting cash from the ice cream next door and people inside struggle with English. But they servers were nice and helpful in it.

I was quick to purchase two small bags and the cheese is awesome! Not as salty as other places and very very squeaky! The ice cream bar looked to have a huge incredible selection! Game on for another day! Definitely a great place and a local landmark to come get your cheese fix on!
